Happy to support the Boidae guys, not sure what got the Feds knickers in a twist but I have to ask myself -isn't this at the discretion of every State? A Fed ban is all-encompasing and honestly, I just don't see a wholesale nationwide slaughter of every Boidae on the day the reg is enacted!
Ill conceived, knee-jerk and short sighted are some terms that jump to mind.
Is this the result of pressure from the Humane Society or are there enough data points to prove that Boidae are actually that destructive and life threatening??
Hey Zack, your 2 foot anthill pythons are deadly and have to be euthanised....and you won't be compensated.

I really can't believe the Federal Gov't would even take on the issue!
Jeff
